However, it might be a little challenging for beginners. The shorter wheelbase and compact size make it less stable compared to longer skateboards, which can be tricky for someone just starting out. Once you get the hang of it, it's much fun to ride and perfect for quick trips around town or campus.
If you're a beginner, it might take some practice to get used to, but if you're up for the challenge, the Retrospec Quip Mini Cruiser is a great choice for a stylish and portable skateboard.
This review is in the context of "penny" boards and mini cruisers only:
Deck: Excellent quality for price. Has some flex, but not excessive, and feels solid/sturdy.
Trucks/Bushings: Absolutely get the job done, metal seems strong/trustworthy quality. I loosened my trucks by about 1 & 1/2 to 2 complete rotations on the nut to get the board carving nicely.
Bearings: They are stamped abec-7 on the shields, and spin okay. Not the higher quality you can buy seperate, but I don't think I'll replace them anytime soon. I rode down fresh asphalt at about 10% grade and was cookin', even had to drag my foot to scrub some speed.
Wheels: Feel soft when cruising on rougher concrete, but like the bearings, not the higher quality urethane you'll get from a set of wheels that cost more than this entire board. I will not be replacing them, they're great for my application/use.
Here is the one defect/area of improvement I found: The issue of wheels not spinning freely or being "stuck" is not due to quality of bearings. Its two things: 1) the nuts might be too tight when you get it, just loosed them up a tiny bit. A TINY bit. 2) the hang pin (axle that the wheel/bearing assemblies slide onto) is about 1/8 of an inch too short on either side. The outer side of the wheel hub (inner portion/hole of wheel) extends past the shank (smooth area of pin/axle) and onto the threaded area of the pin/axle. This causes the wheel to actually have some play in it if the nuts are tightened to the point where they contact the spacers and bearings. Because of this, you won't want to loosen the wheel nuts too much in order to get the wheels to spin with less drag/friction caused by the nuts being too tight... hopefully this makes sense. the concern here is speed wobble at higher speeds. I build boards/bikes/funky wheeled creations and this would be a major concern on a higher speed vehicle, but since its a skateboard, specifically a lil' one, it's not really an issue. Definitely not a deal breaker. Board rides smooth, easy to maneuver and manual over cracks/off curbs. If the company can get trucks with a slightly longer pin/axle shank to prevent this, this board would be perfect. No need to buy additional parts to upgrade. I'm incredibly happy with my $22.19 purchase and will be tearing up the bike lanes of NYC on this bad boy!

The trucks can be loose enough to rub on the board, so be careful of that. The stock bearings are pretty crap, a cheap set of just about anything else is better. But I used the stock for 5-6 months so it's not something a beginner will notice to much. Just put them on the list of things to buy.
The middle flexes a lot, enough that 155lb (+40lb backpack sometimes) me worries about it. Put your weight over the trucks and your fine. Other reviews show cracked boards. Just be smart about it.
The turning is pretty tight, it's easy enough to learn on and get the hang of. I recommend tighter trucks for learning, then loosen as you get more skill/more comfort.
The wheels won't push anything out of the way, if there's a rock, the board will stop. And you'll keep moving. I know from experience.
It's a pretty smooth ride, certainly way more then a normal skateboard and will go faster then a normal skateboard. Won't do any tricks other then just leaning the front wheels up and turning a little, but it takes a lot of practice. A normal skateboard does that way, way better. Leaves tricks to normal boards is what I'm getting at.
It acts more like a longboard then anything in my opinion, but you get the downsides of it not being a longboard and having smaller wheels, and the only upside is slightly tighter turning vs a 38" longboard (drop thru style board) It's not much of a difference.
Here's why I'd recommend something else, at least for someone like me using it as transport across campus.
A longboard is just better. It's that simple.
A longboard is smoother, faster, more stable, turns almost as well (depending on board), kicks rocks out of the way instead of you going flying, easier to ride. The list goes on. Unless your super strapped for cash, spend a few more bucks and get a longboard, you'll be glad you did.
I now have a 38" drop thru style longboard w/ reds bearings and it's all I use. I don't use this board anymore at all. For the price, I feel I got my use out of it, so I'm not complaining necessarily, but I would have just bought a different board to begin with. But this was my first board I've ever owned, so I didn't know.

Empecé con una longboard hace dos años y por no encontrar refacciones compré esta Quip, la cual sirve muy bien para irte de paseo a cortas distancias pero tiene un problema, es muy pequeña para personas que tienen pies grandes como yo; siento que no quepo y por eso termino con un dolor en el pie porque la parte donde tienes que apoyarte es muy inclinada al grado que lastima, en este caso debí comprar la más grande, aunque de igual forma, por el ancho de la tabla, consideraría que no me sentiría cómodo
Independientemente de ello la ocupo y me gusta mucho, aunque a veces si es un poco cómodo el poco espacio que tiene
La durabilidad es buena, aunque se maltrata muy rápido
Si quieres empezar a patinar, compra una normal, el tamaño tan pequeño de esta tabla hace que no tengas mucha estabilidad, la cual ganarás con experiencia y práctica, pero los que empiezan deben considerar otra opción
Aun así, me encanto el producto; en vez de verlo como algo en donde no quepo, lo veo como un reto
